Exploring Creation with Astronomy 2E

Exploring Creation with Astronomy, 2nd Edition by Jeannie Fulbright (Apologia) offers an immersive, Charlotte Mason-inspired science curriculum designed to spark wonder and curiosity in elementary students (Grades K–6). Through a blend of engaging narrative, hands-on activities, and notebooking, this course introduces young learners to the marvels of astronomy while nurturing a lifelong love of science.

Students explore foundational concepts such as gravity, the solar system, moon phases, constellations, and celestial phenomena like black holes and comets. The lessons integrate practical applications—studying seasons, clocks, and planetary motion—to connect theory with real-world observation. Structured for flexibility, the course can be completed in approximately 35 weeks with two weekly lessons, making it adaptable for homeschool schedules.

The included Notebooking Journal (Grades 4–6) and Junior Notebooking Journal (Grades K–3) provide age-appropriate exercises to reinforce learning, while the optional Astronomy Activity Guide extends discovery with hands-on projects. By combining rigorous science with creative exploration, this curriculum equips students to observe, question, and appreciate the universe’s wonders—one lesson at a time.
